Oh ya ? In the six years that I've been involved with this website I don't ever recall getting any knowledgeable information from Al ....but I have had numerous PM's from him asking for information with no thank you or kiss my Ace after the information is given. So that being said if you have a man crush on him keep your feelings to yourself. Because last I knew Al hasn't even fished this year nor do I think in the six years I've been on here that he has fished at all

Some of you guys need to catch some fish quick before your hair catches fire. If needed I could take you with me.

Anybody try the Slough lately?

Ok on bass with tip-ups bluegill is hit or miss the size isn't what it use to be on gills but still decent by all means. The best for me is drill 6 or 8 holes and move back and forth.

BandSearcher · « **Reply #38 on:** Feb 12, 2019, 07:24 AM »

Thanks. Buddy and I fished out there yesterday afternoon until dark and brought home about 20 bluegill. Some real nice ones but a lot of drinks we didn't keep. There was 6 inches of good clear ice.

AB pretty sure that bait shop has been closed for a couple years now. The truck stop on the corner of 41 & 10 sells bee moth. Used to be a half ass bait shop right next to it but not sure if they're even open still.

Rosies did open back up late spring last year. Wondering if open 4 ice fishing???

The old Chief's bait off 10 and 41 was an antique shop last winter but they still carried a bit of bait and a few jigs. This year I have yet to see it open. The Sportsman's Den in Cedar Lake about a mile east of the light on 41 carries a full line of bait along with ice rods and tackle if you are heading to the Slough from up north. Seems finding a good bait shop is getting harder and harder these days.

The gas station just befor the kankakee river on 41 has minnows shiners worms wax worms and red worms..grumpy sum b$&@h haha but he gots em 99% of the time. Not sure how early he opens though

I plan on heading to maxi Thursday but have been hearing some sketchy ice reports. If it doesn't pan out I'm sure I will end up at the slough.

Spooled85 · « **Reply #55 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 07:34 PM »

What's the sketchy ice reports ?

fishinator · « **Reply #56 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 07:47 PM »

I'm not on assbook but was sent some posts copied from there saying a few areas have opened up on the east and south sides. A few reported areas starting to honeycomb. I haven't been over in 2 weeks so I really don't know.

Spooled85 · « **Reply #57 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 07:57 PM »

Ok thank you , ya I dont blame you I don't have assbook either . My wife calls this my fish book cause I'm always looking at it

northrn-duck-assassin · « **Reply #58 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 08:56 PM »

I was on maxi yesterday. The ice i was on, was fine. I did not find any areas of interest, BESIDES... there are some soft edges.

I parked on the north end by the park, things "looked" fine. 1 guy fishing close, few others out further towards long point.

Drove over to the public access, need to watch footing getting on all along the shore there, as some spots are soft, there is a small shove right at the access.

Drove down by the channels and checked stuff out. Mouth of the channels has a crack all the way across and rather wet. Middle channel had a soft spot right off the corner like it always does too.

Did not drive up along the east side of the lake, as i didnt care to fish any of that area. Yes there is open water on the east side of lake, very easy to identify.

Ice i was on was not honeycomb, it was in pretty good shape, fished well into the night and the lake was having a wonderful conversation with me the entire time spent jiggin.

Lets see what type of rain we get, and how much rain we get. Rain and wind is going to be our biggest factor come this weekend. I plan on fishing thursday. Sunday looks too windy for me, especially now that i can pick and choose when to fish. Lol.

Nice report and thank you ! I will hopefully be out there this weekend for one more whoopin
